About the game

The Italian Set is an expansion for the base-game History of War. It uses the same game mechanics but introduces the Italian forces into HoW. As always there is a solid mixture of base improvements, territory improvements, units and action cards. The Italian expansion also introduces a new card type: the upgrade. These cards can be played on units and give them some unique abilities. The Italian Set may not be played stand-alone although it has starter-size too! Expands History of War
